Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can spread
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate it gradually to its final intensity to help the colony adjust without unnecessary stress.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied water flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the polyps clear while avoiding constant harsh directional flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start in a suitable lower-light location during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually if needed.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but allow room for the colony to spread. Plan surrounding rockwork and neighboring corals with future expansion in mind.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the main priority.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp extension and overall appearance after placement changes. Acclimate lighting gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or fragging.

Give the colony room to spread and make changes gradually.
